303 stained my headlamps?

[IceQube]

I said stained, not scratched.

I already tried PlastX polish which is much better than bug spray.

I don't see the value in cheapening out on equipment that can possibly save my life, someone else's life, or both.

Those scratches weren't there before the application of 303. What ended up happening was that the haze 303 left was bad enough to make me replace the entire lamp. I had the old lamp sitting with the lens down on a work table so I could extract the bulbs and ballasts. That's what created the scratches.

I don’t follow this.

His pics are of the lenses he said the 303 hazed up. He replaced the entire lenses and scratched up the old ones on his work bench removing the bulbs and ballasts.

Still weird that the 303 hazed up the lenses, IMO. But I don't have any reason to believe that it didn't if he's posting it.

Just me, but I have always waxed my lenses with my LSP (Collinite 845/476) and they still look brand spanking new 7 years later.

I want to try Optimum UV protectant wax, does anyone have any experience? I just don't want a repeat of the 303 fiasco. I'm currently using Meguiars waterless wash and wax on the new headlamps and it hasn't caused any issues but it also doesn't have anything for UV.

303 has UV protection.

And it also stained both my lamps, one worse than the other.

And whether it has any UV protection is questionable. I sent a bottle out to someone with a UV meter and he noted that 303 blocked no UV, while regular sunscreen significantly reduced UV transmission.

Optimum Car Wax on the lenses would be
a great alternative to both 303AP and
Meguiar’s Waterless Wash & Wax, IMO.

Maybe sunscreen will protect your new lamp.

Quick question ... what was the surface temp of the lenses when you applied the 303, ie. hot, warm, cold ? You never want to apply anything to a surface that is not cool to the touch. A call to Gold Eagle (parent co. of 303) might be in order as well.
